For Parents

Uniform

We are very proud of our school and all children are expected to wear full uniform every day.  It shows that the children are part of the St. Joseph’s family.

Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception)

Girls and Boys

  1. Green school tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirt. Children can wear bottle-green shorts in the summer.
  2. Yellow polo shirt with or without the school logo on
  3. Black shoes with Velcro fastenings
  4. Green or white socks
  5. Small green / white / yellow hair accessories

Children in Nursery and Reception class do not change for PE lessons, so do not need a change of clothes.

Children should wear their PE kit to school on the days that they are due to have a PE lesson.

Additional sports kit should be brought in for after-school clubs.

Hair

Plain, black, white or green hair accessories to allow hair to be kept out of children’s faces. Shaved and patterned hair are extremes of fashion and, as such, are not acceptable. Any child with long hair must be prepared to tie back their hair for practical reasons or to prevent vision being obscured.

Jewellery

Only plain gold or silver stud earrings can be worn.
Watches should be a sensible size and removed during PE lessons. No other jewellery is permitted for safety reasons.

Bags:

School rucksacks are available in infant and junior sizes, for years 1-6 respectively. Children in Nursery and Reception classes can use the school book bag.

Accessories:

School hat with logo*, dark green gloves and scarf
